LOL!!!!!......yummmmmmmmm
That would be… a bit much.
You like blood soup???
Look up czarnina..........pure duck blood!!!!
Dang Polskis.......
Can't say it looks all that appealing.
Does haggis have blood in it?
Yummm!!!! Kiszka.....look it up!!!
LOLOLOL!! Every country has its blood sausage, though I can't say I'm particularly fond of it...
In perfect British tradition, they're going to debate the benefits of black pudding in Parliament after these reports. Sounds like a lobbyists war between counties for the right to use the term ala champagne, those Euries sure do have fun with food.
I would try it from a reputable source, fresh, zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron are important vitamins try to pay attention to.
I'd be surprised if I liked it.
Call for House of Commons debate on Black Pudding - The Scotsman

Having read a number of (very similar) recipes last night, I think it would probably be tasty, as long as it wasn't overpoweringly sweet. I've always liked the sweet-savory combination of meat and fruits.
Surely it'd be better than pumpkin pie.
Noooo, it's not. It's the very dense pure white fat that grows around the kidneys.
That's interesting. But somehow I think many of today's health-conscious eaters will be put off when they realize all that iron is provided by blood. Maybe not in the U.K., where blood pudding is a familiar treat, but surely here.
I think I'm going to give it a try.
The suet should be easy enough to get from a butcher. It's really the fat trimmed off NY strips.
Well, you can't say we're not topical here,
what do I wake up to find on my home page as the new superfood alongside blueberries, kale etc.? Not plum pudding, but black pudding which I at first thought you were referring to. Not everyone agrees naturally, but most say the usual, all things in moderation.
There was a day I could face, even attack a traditional English breakfast after my first two cups of coffee, but not all of it and rarely these days.

I've been reading other "authentic" mincemeat recipes. Seems quite a few people still make it, and like it very much.
They all call for meat, though not all call for suet. That may be because the right kind is evidently hard to find these days. A friend makes plum pudding, and she has to order the suet from a butcher before she needs it.
Most of the reviewers who tried the recipes say they let the filling "age" for at least a month; some longer...
That might be a little easier--there aren't quite as many ingredients--but the principle is the same. It may need more booze, though. I have the impression the final preparation should positively reek of spirits.
My dad would bring one home at Christmas and it was the real deal. I loved them. You're right they are all made with fruit now.
Can't even find the filling sold online.
This looks like an easier recipe.

You can buy them at Thanksgiving. But they aren't made with meat; just dried fruit and I don't know what else. When I was a kid, we used to have one at the holidays, but I don't think they had any meat in them either. Finally there was a consensus that nobody in the family liked them, and so…
Here's Beard's recipe:

And it must come from Kentucky rather than that swill they sell in TN.
My dad was a bourbon drinker and he passed it on to me.

At Christmas I make a ham with raison sauce that calls for a cup of bourbon. You have to lock the oven door because when the bourbon hits the flash point it will blow the door open.
They could not keep it on the shelves here over the holidays and I live in the bible belt. Damn Baptists don't drink my eye. Took me 3 ABC stores to find a bottle.
For some reason I also started drinking bourbon old fashions over the holidays as well before dinner.
I've looked into making mincemeat myself. Once I discovered what went into it and how long it took I said forget it.
You just don't see mincemeat pies around anymore.
I think bourbon really does have the best flavor for holiday desserts.
My mom was from Louisville and had people
in Lexington, Ky as well. All kinds of bourbon products would be all over the place around the holidays, bourbon balls in little trays within kids reach, hard sauce, bourbon this and bourbon that available for everyone Altho' I don't remember ever getting stoned the bourbon was obviously not held back in the recipes.
edit: egg nog too of course, but the kids didn't try to get away that one...until later, 12 & 13.
It's HARD to beat… One could always have it on waffles...
James Beard once published a recipe for REAL mincemeat. Needless to say, hardly anyone's made real mincemeat since the 19th century. Back when it was made with meat.
The authentic dish is very medieval. Beard's recipe was crazy: tons of meat mixed with raisins and other dried fruits, sugar and booze. You were supposed to start making it in late spring, and keep on topping it up with additional bottles of brandy till the holiday season was at hand.
I don't think I'd actually LIKE it, but it would no doubt be interesting.
Yum, now I'm craving bourbon hard sauce.
It's not so much heavy as very rich and very sweet. And of course the hard sauce adds to that. I've always made it with just butter and confectioner's sugar and some brandy.
Somewhere along the line I'm sure I've had that,
it is good, but heavy if it's what I'm thinking.
Love Nigella btw, that old fart she was married to blew it.
LOL!! Noooo. And you'd like it. Everyone likes plum pudding.

Those nutty Brits, yuck lol,
I suppose they also put peas in it?.
And it probably was. But most people aren't crazy about suet. Unless it's in plum pudding.
I ran up to Kroger's last night
and picked up some of those suet blocks with berries, nuts and seeds mixed in for the woodpeckers and others that like it,
it looked more nutritious than what I had for dinner.
Same here in NC. We had roses blooming still on Xmas. It was 76. I refused to feed the birds until the temps dipped below freezing.
Today it was 24. I fed the birds.
That's right, pretty damn clever I can tell you lol.
I worked on a kind of hobby farm in high school where the guy kept guinea fowl as guard dogs. Me and a buddy that worked there hated those damn things as they'd start a racket up when we'd get 20 yards away. They liked to roost on the first limb up on large trees where they could keep a good look out.
Not for nothing did the Romans have geese that guarded Rome.
And I believe that much more recently they've been used by the U.S. Army in Germany.
Four of us went to the keys out of school
to get our final ya - yas out. We found a house on stilts in Grassy Key to rent, our neighbor had free ranging banty hens who could absolutely hide their eggs in the bare scrub excuse for a lawn. They also had two white domestic geese that were tolerant to their 6 year old boy carrying them around by the neck, but let us stray over the line on our sunday mornings off looking for banty eggs for breakfast and oh boy...a pinch on the back of your thigh would bring a loud yelp. They would tag team you, one in front and one behind.
They're relentless. And they can peck pretty hard, even if their beaks aren't pointy.
Yes LOL, there are a lot of those.
I remember one where this man is accosted from behind, he turns around nonchalantly with his hands still jammed in his pockets as if to say 'are you kidding me, a frickin' bird'? After a few charges at the bird and swings and misses with his foot he turns and runs screaming like a little girl ha ha.
As long as they keep their distance. Remember the old Animal Planet clip of a bride being chased by the unfortunately aggressive swan she'd hoped to have her picture taken with?
...but they're so pretty and graceful. ;)
LOLOLOL!! Swans are said to be particularly nasty.
My wife and myself would always take our weeks vacation up there
where I kept an antique 19' Lyman boat painted white in storage. We always used it with the top down and it had a sway back appearance apparently similar to a giant male swan to other nesting male swans.
The connecting rivers between the lakes were busy on weekends and this one spot happened to have a nesting pair and was a convenient spot for a sherrif's boat to pull over and observe. He got the biggest kick watching us have to hit the deck every time we passed as this male swan picked our boat and only our boat out of a long continuous stream of boats as being the only threat to him.
There have been 3 or 4 fisherman knocked unconscious and drowned in the last 20 years or so from trumpeter swans in the area.
lol, you're right: large water fowl are best admired from a distance.
That's a crappy story,
some bird people tracked down some yahoos in the St. Louis area that in the 70's cross bred several breeds of geese so they would hang around their golf course ponds (hazards)year around. The used Canadas as one of the breeds and they look like Canadas to me and others, but birdie people can tell. edit: they're referred to as 'urban geese'.
One of my stores in Centerville had two large glass doors that the geese would admire themselves in and would attack store employees when they tried to open up in the morning. They's also attacked customers, but the worst part was they'd lay gigundus poop bombs all over in front of the entrance.
In N. Michigan some idiots around the lakes fed the Mallards year around and kept a large population from ever migrating. Worse, you'd get an awful "duck itch" from swimming if you had a neighbor feeding them all summer.
lol, in which direction are they supposed to be migrating? In some parts of the country, Canada geese are just sticking around all year now.
We still have migrating birds around too,
I've put off putting feed out for fear of keeping them here any longer.
No, it'll probably make for not very many spring flowers.
I'm sure that won't be good in the real spring
my neighbor still has petunias green and bloom ing in pots she never pitched and her flowering cabbages look great lol.
Wow. That's weird.
